The pastry chef went to the "Traffic Light" and chose sweets with a decent composition and a pleasant price.
Recently, I have often read on the Internet reviews of people who write that they bought products in the "Traffic Light", looking only at their price. And then they tried it at home, studied the composition and realized that there is no such thing.
After this, people write that nothing can be bought in this store. I'm not a big fan of "Traffic Light", but there are products there that, even with a low price, have a good composition.
As a pastry chef, I am primarily interested in sweets. Therefore, I went to a neighboring city, we have no "Traffic light", and chose sweets that are inexpensive, and at the same time they are not afraid to eat.
I was in a store near Moscow, so some products may not be available in other regions.
Frau Mu curd snacks
These are our favorite curd snacks in chocolate glaze. The price is only 72 rubles 60 kopecks for 6 curd bars of 30 grams, or 403 rubles per kilogram. The composition of the curds is good, it contains butter and cottage cheese.
There is a small minus in the form of palm kernel stearin, which should be a little here, it is added instead of cocoa butter to the glaze.
Fitchie multi-grain biscuits
Cookies, which, in theory, should be useful for those on a diet, but their calorie content is quite high - 458 kcal per 100 grams. Even Snickers has a lower energy value.
But the composition of the cookies is good. True, it is not indicated what kind of vegetable oil is used. The price is 98 rubles 80 kopecks per 500 grams, or 197 rubles 60 kopecks per kilogram.
Custard gingerbread "Traditional"
The favorites of this collection are gingerbread. The price is only 59 rubles 40 kopecks per 1 kilogram. But, despite the low cost, the composition is good - not even palm oils. Of course, it doesn't smell of any honey here, it was replaced with a flavoring agent, but otherwise everything is very worthy.
Lingering cookies with honey "RotFront"
Cookies from a well-known brand, intended for children. Everything for children should be with a good composition, but it must be checked.
I read the label and see that the manufacturer did not indicate what kind of vegetable oil was used. I think this is unacceptable for children's cookies, but for adults it will do.
The price is 38 rubles 70 kopecks per 400 grams, or 96 rubles 75 kopecks per kilogram.
Stuffed pillows
But these pads I did not expect such a composition. It is good and does not contain any vegetable oils of unknown origin.
The price for a package of 550 grams is 43 rubles 10 kopecks, or 78 rubles 36 kopecks per kilogram.
Raw gingerbread with fruit filling
One more gingerbread was included in the selection. They are already more expensive - 71 rubles 90 kopecks per kilogram, but there is even a fruit filling.
The composition is good, the filling is applesauce with the addition of Vanilla and Cherry flavors.
Small dryers for tea
In my opinion, sushi are not sweets, but since they are served with tea, I decided to include them in the selection.
The composition is very simple and there is no palm oil. They didn't even add flavors here, which is great.
Price per kilogram package - 65 rubles 60 kopecks. These dryers turned out to be more expensive than gingerbread, but still a good option to feast on.
Of course, there are a lot of products in Svetofor that I would never buy. But if you approach shopping correctly, read the composition, then you can buy good products for mere pennies.
Do you read the composition before buying?
